I've seen this movie a few times over the past several decades, so I can follow it, but I still find the opening 15 minutes a bit confusing. It's good and suspenseful as Topbilled said, but I find it a bit hard to keep straight at first.

I am spending way too much time thinking about which side of Young's face is facing the camera. Oh no, not that! It's ruined Claudette Colbert movies for me.

I note one small dainty string of pearls....at this point.

I love Billy House's performance as Mr. Potter...such a great character actor.

I am spending way too much time thinking about which side of Young's face is facing the camera. I saw someone -- I'm pretty sure it was Robert Osborne -- speak about going to Young's house, where the room in which they met was perfectly lit (and painted the perfect shade of pale pink) so that she would always look her best when people came to see her. Unless I made this part up, I think I remember him saying that it didn't come off as conceit, rather that she knew her place as a Hollywood star and didn't want to disappoint anyone or wreck the illusion.

I haven't read that, but I have read that she fully understood and embraced what the public expected of her as a star, so what you read, fits.

What was it Peter Fonda said - your eyebrow is as big as a canoe up there on the screen? I have to give actors their airs and graces. The bread and butter years are short like athletes. Surely any director worth their salt could handle such insecurities with their brilliance and talent?

I think I'm a couple minutes behind -- just got to that great effect of the big clock with the pigeons. Had to rewind to see it again!

I am distracted by Orson's EXTREMELY twirly whirly hair. Is there something to your theory FF?
